This is what a fairy should be like

When Zhuang Lin and others entered the city with Yu Jingxuan, a team of officers had already discovered the bodies of the gangsters under the mound where they had just attacked.

The young man who was guiding the way covered his mouth and cowered away, while the officers were looking at the corpse.

In addition to the three corpses on the roadside, the one in the grass was also carried out and placed in a row on the ground.

"Head, they're all here. That kid said they were the ones who robbed Dao, but a total of four of them are dead!"

"Nonsense! I can't see they're dead?"

The leading police officer was a middle-aged man with a short beard. He cursed and stared at the corpse with a frown.

These four died more miserably than they had ever seen before, one of them had his face split open...

There were bursts of animal chirping all around, which sounded a little scary. There was not much light left in the sunset, and the surrounding visibility was rapidly declining.

The leading police officer shuddered and gave the order immediately.

"It's getting dark. It's not advisable to stay outside for a long time at night. Pick up the body and let's go back first!"

"Okay!" "Yes!"

------------------

The business in Zui Feng Tower is good. Many people are dining on the second floor, and Zhuang Lin and his group occupy a corner.

The pillar lamps, wall lamps and table lamps on each table in the building provide a bright light.

A long flat table was put together to form a chain table, which was more than a foot long. There were wine and food on it, and eight people sat on both sides.

Zhuang Lin and Yu Jingxuan were sitting opposite, and some distance away from them, their entourage was sitting there.

Mr. Mu and others mostly ate quietly, and even when they spoke, their voices were relatively low, and they only occasionally spoke to the book boy.

The six people in the Hidden Immortal Valley are full of novelty, and they look around from time to time. Sometimes when they see the lively scene in this ancient building, they feel a little unreal and a little dazed.

There is a feeling in my heart that I am really in ancient times.

Of course, Zhuang Lin had to exercise restraint compared to others.

The so-called good wine and good food here, in the eyes of the people in the Hidden Immortal Valley, the food is not unpalatable, but it is not delicious either, but the ingredients are also delicious in nature.

As for wine, there is nothing special about it.

Yu Jingxuan is a very elusive person. At least for Zhuang Lin, he can easily make the other person feel that communicating with him is very comfortable.

Yu Jingxuan asked Zhuang Lin about the various beautiful scenery he had passed during his study tour, which was easy for him to pick up. He selectively talked about the scenery he had traveled to before or seen on the Internet, which was enough to make Yu Jingxuan full of yearning.

On the table, Yu Jingxuan's book boy and others just ate and did not disturb the conversation between the two. After all, in name, these two were the masters and they were the servants.

Of course, the ears are perked up.

By the end of the meal, the two of them had become familiar enough. As Yu Jingxuan and Zhuang Lin got to know each other better, they had already given each other their first names.

Zhuang Lin didn't need to talk about foreigners' words often. He could ask whatever he wanted, so he also mentioned the purpose of coming here. Of course, these words were packaged.

...

"Tao Yuanming?"

Yu Jingxuan had a puzzled look on his face, and looking at his expression, Zhuang Lin knew that he definitely didn't know Tao Yuanming.

Sure enough, what Yu Jingxuan said later confirmed Zhuang Lin's guess.

"I'm sorry that Yu is ignorant and has never heard of this person. Brother Zhuang, you came here specifically to find this person, but what's so special about him?"

"It's a long story. He once traveled to Zhuang's hometown. During his stay, he and I felt like old friends and talked happily. However, when he left, there was a descendant in his hometown who was envious of the joy of traveling and stayed behind. The book went after him privately..."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Lin couldn't help but sigh, but Liu Hongyu's pitiful letter flashed through his mind. Those messy words said that the letter really flattered him.

"Alas! When the younger generation left, the elders in his hometown were anxious. Knowing that I also like to travel, they asked me to help find him... I heard that Mr. Yuan Liang traveled to Wuling a few days ago, so I came here! "

"Oh, that's it...let me go home and ask my father and friends in the city. If I know where Tao Yuanming is, I will tell you!"

"Thank you very much!"

When Zhuang Lin expressed his thanks, he also glanced at the few people who came with him, and they also made eye contact with each other.

Could it be that Tao Yuanming did not return to Wuling, or had already left? After all, he was just passing through...

At this moment, at a table not far away, a restaurant waiter was chatting animatedly with several guests. The exclamations there also attracted the attention of Zhuang Lin and others.

"Oh... is it true?" "It's absolutely true!"

"Is there really such a place?" "As you said, guest, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. When I saw them chatting, it didn't look like they were lying!"

...

Although Zhuang Lin and others cannot say that their hearing is extremely outstanding, they are still very sensitive to some specific words, and they vaguely heard the words "Peach Blossom Spring".

The bursts of exclamations aroused Yu Jingxuan's curiosity and he was looking towards the shore.

Several people who came with him looked at Zhuang Lin and winked at him. The latter nodded slightly and hurriedly stopped the restaurant waiter while he was passing by.

"Oh, brother, come here!"

The restaurant waiter hurriedly came over and bent down to give me a smile.

"Master Yu, and this guest officer, what are your orders?"

Yu Jingxuan glanced at Zhuang Lin, not knowing what he meant, but Zhuang Lin had already put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile.

"Young man, you guys were chatting enthusiastically just now, and I only understood a little bit, so I wanted to ask clearly, it seems to be where the beautiful scenery is?"

The waiter smiled.

"Then you asked the right question, sir. Mr. Zhao from the city had dinner here before. When I was serving him, I heard his friend say that he went into the mountains by mistake while boating and found a magical place. There were people from the pre-Qin Dynasty living inside... That place is called Taohuayuan!"

Zhuang Lin and others were all shocked, and Yu Jingxuan on the side was more interested at this time, and hurriedly asked.

"Taohuayuan? People from the pre-Qin Dynasty? Tell me, tell me..."

Zhuang Lin was also a little anxious at this time, raised his hand to signal Yu Jingxuan, and then pulled the waiter who was about to speak and asked.

"Do you remember who you are talking about?"

"This... uh, it seems to be..."

"Is it Tao Yuanming?"

The waiter shook his head.

"That's not the name, it's..."

Zhuang Lin's heart moved.

"Yuanliang?"

The waiter's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhao called him Yuanliang, it should be a courtesy name!"

Zhuang Lin grabbed the waiter's arm and unconsciously used more strength.

"When did they come here to eat? Did they leave together?"

"It was, at most less than an hour ago, that person got drunk and was helped away by Mr. Zhao and another person... Sir, what are you doing..."

Zhuang Lin reacted immediately, quickly let go and bowed to apologize.

"It's about relatives and friends, so I'm a little bit out of line, I hope you won't blame me..."

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay! Well, if you guys are all right, I'll take my leave first..."

The waiter said, and he grabbed the tray and left. Yu Jingxuan didn't stop him. He was looking at Zhuang Lin at this time. Seeing him looking at him, he knew what he was going to ask, so he answered first.

"The young man surnamed Zhao in the city should be Zhao Chenyu, and his uncle is the respected Lord of Wuling City County!"

"Oh? Do you know where Mr. Zhao lives?"

"Uh... I know, but I can't say we are familiar with each other..."

Yu Jingxuan looked a little embarrassed, but Zhuang Lin didn't make it difficult for him.

"Brother Yu just needs to point out the approximate direction, and we will go to visit it ourselves!"

After hearing this, Yu Jingxuan shook his head again.

"How about this, you stay in the inn next door for a while, and tomorrow morning, I will go with you to visit Mr. Zhao, how about it?"

Zhuang Lin frowned slightly.

"What if we go after dinner?"

Yu Jingxuan smiled.

"Alas, I'm afraid it's too late. There's been some unrest these days. There will be a curfew soon!"

"Curfew? How long will it be?"

"From 4:00 p.m. to dawn!"

Zhuang Lin frowned slightly and glanced at the people around him. It wasn't long after the report for the next shift, so there really wasn't much time left...

"Okay..."

Yu Jingxuan smiled and couldn't help but said.

"Maybe we can learn more about the Peach Blossom Spring by then. The people at the next table were talking about it very enthusiastically just now! Come on, Brother Zhuang, please!"

Zhuang Lin also raised his glass to signal the other party.

The most concerned matter has been settled, and Zhuang Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. The few people who came with him also relaxed a lot at this time.

However, the first concern has made progress, and the second concern in Zhuang Lin's heart has resurfaced.

After taking a sip of wine, he suddenly asked another question.

"Brother Yu, do you think there are any monsters near Wuling City?"

"Huh?"

Yu Jingxuan looked at Zhuang Lin in surprise.

"Brother Zhuang, why are you saying such weird things?"

Yu Jingxuan said this the moment before, but he added another sentence the next moment.

"But there are indeed many weird things these days. If you feel that you have encountered evil spirits, you can go to the big temple in the city to worship. It is quite effective. I can take you there tomorrow!"

"Oh, thank you very much!"

After thanking him, Zhuang Lin did not mention anything else. He just chatted and drank with Yu Jingxuan. As for the food, he had already eaten enough.

-----------------

At night, Zhuang Lin and the other six stayed in an inn called Yikeguan not far from the restaurant.

Yu Jingxuan had already said goodbye and went home. The six people from Yinxian Valley slept in a large bunk bed guest room. At this moment, they all lay down in a row.

The six people were all exhausted physically and mentally. The first day of excitement in ancient times was finally over.

However, the six people were still not sleepy at this moment. Except for Zhuang Lin, the other five people had just kept silent during the meal. Now they were discussing together. Except for Young Master Liu and Tao Yuanming, they were mainly discussing the incident at dusk.

This was the first time for them to kill someone, but after all, they were punishing evil and promoting good, so apart from being nervous, they did not have any uncomfortable reactions.

But now they lay down and heard Zhuang Lin and Fu Zeyang mention some details. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"Master Zhuang said that the man was killed by the woman, and his death was extremely tragic?"

Before Zhuang Lin spoke, Fu Zeyang could not help but speak. He was a strong man who had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his scalp was numb when he thought about it.

"Yeah, now think about it, the man's artery opened, but there was so little blood flowing, and there was a faint animal odor around, which made people feel very depressed. Master Zhuang also smelled it! We both wanted to leave there immediately..."

The Li brothers also looked at each other. When they arrived at the scene before, they did smell that smell. They didn't think too much at the time, but when they ran away later, everyone was nervous and something was really wrong.

"This...""Master Zhuang, you said this..."

Zhuang Lin lay on his side, tightened the quilt around his neck, looked at the five pairs of big eyes lined up, and said the strong intuition in his heart.

"This ancient time... is a little different from what we imagined, I'm afraid there are monsters..."

"Hiss..."

Several people couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. If this was said in Yinxian Valley, or in the city and village where they live, it was a prosperous era after being dilapidated. No matter who said it, several people present would say it was feudal superstition.

But now it is the ancient Jin Dynasty, and the person who said this is still Master Zhuang, especially since it is something that everyone experienced together.

It makes people shudder!

"And... it's not just about the monsters, some information seems to be wrong. When I was chatting with Mr. Yu just now, he accidentally mentioned that he wanted to go to Mount Tai for fun, but he also said that this place is more than 4,000 miles away from Mount Tai, and the journey is too far and he dare not go..."

"This, is there any problem with this?"

Several people looked at Zhuang Lin with doubts, and the latter nodded slightly.

"It's a big problem!"

Zhuang Lin did not count on his geographical knowledge before the crossing, after all, there is actually a big difference between it and after the crossing.

But it is precisely because of the big difference that Zhuang Lin learned a lot of things during the initial adaptation period, and geography is just one of them. At this moment, he just tried his best to recall it and it became clear.

Some historical and geographical names before the crossing have a vague correspondence with those after the crossing, which is similar but different. It provided him with a convenient way of thinking to understand this world at the beginning, so it is also very convenient to deepen his memory.

After sorting it out in his mind, Zhuang Lin connected the information and continued.

"Zhuang doesn't know much about geography, but I know that the ancient Wuling may be located in two places, one is Jingzhou where our Yinxian Valley is located, and the other is Xiangzhou..."

"What's the problem with this?" "Shush, don't make a noise, listen to Master Zhuang!"

Zhuang Lin nodded and continued.

"Jingzhou is about 2,300 to 4,000 miles away from Mount Tai, and Xiangzhou is closer, at most 1,000 miles."

Zhuang Lin didn't say it for sure, because he didn't remember it very clearly, but the big numbers would not be wrong.

"And Master Yu said that this place is more than 4,000 miles away from Mount Tai..."

The others were stunned. This is not only inconsistent, but the difference is too big. Even if you start from Jingzhou, the distance can be almost doubled!

Zhuang Lin couldn't help but wonder in his mind at this moment, is the Jin Dynasty he arrived at this time not the ancient times after crossing back, but another parallel time and space?

At this moment, Grandpa Mu seemed to think of something.

"I remember, Master Zhuang, maybe it's not what you think!"

"Oh?"

Zhuang Lin was startled and looked at the old man, who was lying down and stroking his beard before thinking.

"I am older and know more. After thinking carefully, it seems that a textbook I learned in my childhood mentioned that there were many errors in the measurement units in ancient times, which is very different from today. This should be the reason, right? But the current textbooks have never mentioned it?"

"Is that so? It is indeed not mentioned..."

Zhuang Lin said this, but his face was full of doubts. The textbooks he had seen did not mention what Grandpa Mu said, but mentioned other things.

I remember that the textbook said that in addition to the international units, China still uses the ancient system for various measurement units. Could it be that this ancient system is not the same as that ancient system?

Forget it, I'll ask someone tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lin looked at a few people again.

"Okay, let's go to sleep, we still have things to do tomorrow!" "But the monsters..."

"Don't think too much, the city should be fine!" "Maybe we are overthinking it?"

"Oh, let's rest, let's rest, today's ancient journey has made us exhausted..."
